I'm trying to figure out a way to easily create a repeatable template consisting of Collection Sets, Smart Collections and Collections. For example:
YYYY.MM.DD - EVENT (Collection Set)
-Photos (Collection Set)
-- Camera 1 (Smart Collection)
-- Camera 2 (Smart Collection)
-Selects (Collection Set)
--Unflagged (Smart Collection)
--Flagged (Smart Collection)
--Reference (Collection)
etc.
Note: Each smart collection would have a field for the shoot date.
I can export and then re-import the smart collections but I am manually creating the Collection Sets and manually changing the shoot date for the smart collections. I'm sure it isn't possible currently but it'd be great to change a common field within multiple smart collections. To speed up changing the date I'm trying some macro keyboard software but that's only saving a few key presses. If there's a keyboard shortcut to "Edit smart collection" the macro would save a few more key presses.
If what I've described makes sense - is there a better way to do this?
